If it is against policy then why aren't we blocking those proxies?
And if proxy editing is against policy we should block AOL too as it is
basically an open proxy to with all the IP switching going on.
I think blocking so many editors when their editing isn't necessarily
problematic is a VERY bad idea.

Wikipedia, isn't it bad for editors, not just admins? After all, it's
just a mop and a bucket, and it's not big deal. If it is only bad for
admins, then is it enforced only for admins and sock puppets?
Assuming your conclusions are accurate, this sort of behaviour can
only harm the project, as it will put off people from running the RFA
gauntlet.
I'm forced to wonder if that is the point.
